[Game Thread] Pokerole: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

Regarding his Geology findings, he's somewhat reassured that not too much has changed with the old mountain, but the abundance of powderized diamond causes him some confusion and concern none the less, and he's quick to bring it up to the rest of his mini-group.

"In case you haven't noticed, the tunnel we're in is rich with diamond dust. Not too sure of the reason why or if that's a problem per say, but thought I let you know. Forewarned is forearmed, as they say."

The steep cliffs he, Scizors, Lucas, and Sally soon discovered and presence of non-native Pokemon around them had the midget miner frowning - well, frowning more - mainly for two reasons. One, it was yet more proof that this cosmic disaster was indeed pulling Pokemon here, there, every-and-anywhere into Mt. Coronet, and that it didn't seem too picky about who or what it warps away. And two, those cliffs were going to be a pain in his rear to scale, as he doesn't have any Pokemon that can scale them that he or anyone else can ride on, nor does he have the equipment necessary to do so himself. He does have his Scarmory Stymph he can ride upwards, but that has it's own host of problems, and it doesn't solve the issue of how to get his partners up there with him (Both were probably a bit too heavy to fly on Stymph).

Before he had a chance to ruminate on these issues, and third reason for him to be displeasured and concerned with came in the form of a what appeared to be a bloody damn Tyrantrum roaming around in the distance, appearing to be on the hunt and positively starving for some attention. His expression quickly became surprised and then alarmed, before he let loose a incredibly uhappy growl that no doubt caught the attention of everyone else. If not, then him pointing straight at it would do the trick!

"By my pickaxe and boots, what's a Tyrantrum doing stomping around here?! *Pinches nose* Don't answer that. Think we can all guess the gottverdammt reason."

He lets out another growl, looking at the ironclad Explorer and boy hero with grim determination.

"I'm going over to take care of it. We could possibly steer clear of it or make a distraction to keep it occupied, but I don't want even the slightest chance that predator taking any notice of us when we least want it. That, and there's a chance it could waltz on off and meet the rest of our partners, and I don't want them saddle them dealing with it then when I could do so myself now."

Ran pauses for a second, looking at his min-group carefully, before he speaking again.

"....That being said, I wouldn't be adverse to anyone of you helping me out. I'm confidant my own partners can lay that overgrown chicken out, but having some backup in case things go wrong or it ends up picking me as its prey would be nice to have."

(If he has to go alone, he'll choose Diam and Zorn as his Pokemon against Tyrantrum. If any of his partners accept his offer to come with him, he'll only field Zorn against the prehistoric beast)

Lucas takes a moment to examine the sparkly powder once Randolph points it out.  "That's...odd.  Not sure what exactly this means, but maybe it was scattered by something that moved through these tunnels?"

--------------------------------

Lucas and Scizor both agree that taking Tyrantrum down now would probably be a good idea.  Scizor volunteers to assist.

"I'll scout around, see if I find anything else that could possibly cause problems later.  Be careful, you two.  That dino looks meaner than Roark's Rampardos."

As Scizor and Randolph are not trying to be stealthy, Tyrantrum immediately notices them as they approach.  Standing over a small stream with smaller water pokemon cowering in fear below it, the dinosaur pokemon roars!  The battle cry echoes around the cave (Team K even hears it), and the large, rocky t-rex begins walking towards the tiny little creatures that dare to approach it...

Zorn stands firm, ready for action and completely unshaken by the giant dinosaur's display of power and dominance and glaring at the dino with a look of defiance.  Scizor simply takes a battle ready position.

Tyrantrum Round 1 Initiatives
Tyrantrum: (2) + 11 = 13
Scizor: (3) + 9 = 12
Zorn: (1) + 9 = 10
